075 LHD thread

[Deleted member 27830]

These and the 071, desperately need a compound heli, something like the SB-1.

That is an interesting technology but it isn't quite viable yet.
People have been working on compound helis for decades and yet you see none in service.

I have to agree that China needs a better aviation component for their flattops.

A modern equivalent to the CH-53 Stallion would be more useful to the PLA and PLAN IMHO.

Don't China have Mi-6? It is even bigger.

It's too obsolete and can't be based out of an LHD.

There's the planned heavy helicopter being worked on with Russia. But it was supposed to use a Russian helicopter engine which isn't available yet. PD-8V. Work on this engine was originally being done at Klimov but was moved to Kuznetsov design bureau because of excess workload at Klimov.

I suppose another possibility would be to use an engine derived from the Chinese AEP500 turboprop.

Is there another type 075 under construction?

How about Mil Mi-26? China afaik have some. I also remember there was a cooperation between China and Russia to design and manufacture the more modern Mi-26 heavy helo
